West.

As the Han army conquered the important town of Linjing again and ambushed the Wei army, the morale of the army had been condensed to a kind of peak at this time.

Although it has not reached the point of collapse, there is a vague feeling of being warless.

Rest for a few days.

Once again, the Han army was divided over the marching plan.

Xiang Lang and other people should still follow the strategy proposed by the prime minister step by step and encroach on the advancement.

In the meantime, Xiang Lang's face was serious, and he analyzed in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, our army has not achieved such a remarkable victory since it has not arrived in the Qinling Mountains, the three counties of Longyou have been decided, and the field battle has forced back the puppet Wei coalition army, and Wei Wenchang is also majestic in the north of the Yellow River for a while, and gradually gained a firm foothold. ”

"Lang thought that although the puppet Wei had lost control of the Liangzhou lands at this time, its strength should not be underestimated, and its power still spread throughout the northern states, spanning the Central Plains, Hebei and other rich places."

"If you really want to go all out to fight for Guanzhong, our army is indeed not easy to deal with."

When the words fell, his tone softened slightly, and then he said: "If our army can continue to implement the strategic layout planned by the prime minister at this time, first temporarily stick to the main defense line, adopt the strategy of avoiding war, and then move eastward after gradually digesting most of the fruits of this attack on Liangzhou, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?" ”

"Now the hussar general is also leading the crowd to the west, and with his former prestige and the envelopment and favor of the Qiang tribes in Liangzhou by General Guan Shao in Liangzhou three years ago, I think that in the near future, the counties of Hexi will also be owned by my Han Dynasty!"

After the words fell, Xiang Lang gradually stopped abruptly.

His opinion was already obvious, that is, he was against continuing the march and revitalizing the Northern Expedition after the pace of the attack was stopped and the situation was stabilized.

It's a safe thing to do!

Merely.

The generals led by Wu Yi and Huang Zhong advocated marching with one force, not allowing the Wei soldiers to breathe, and it was not too late to digest the fruits of victory after taking the west of Tongguan.

"Your Majesty, it is imperative that you take advantage of the victory to march into the army!"

"Yes, the revival of the Han Dynasty and the return of the old capital, success or failure in this move."

For a while, both sides insisted on their own words, but they both resolutely persuaded them.

Discussion is half-loud.

Emperor Liu Bei of the Han Dynasty still looked sideways at his proudest adviser Fa Zheng, and asked, "I don't know what Xiaozhi thinks about this?" ”

When Fa Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but condense Liu Bei's face slightly, and looked at his expression, but there was a faint hint of joy in the corners of his eyes. Seeing this, he instantly realized that the Son of Heaven intended to take advantage of the victory to march and seize Guanzhong in one fell swoop in order to achieve political goals and return to the old capital.

But this is also reasonable, now Liu Bei is already past the ear, at the age of more than sixty-three is already an advanced age, he may also have the heart to restore the Han dynasty in his lifetime, overthrow the rule of Cao Wei, and make the world peaceful.

If we were to be silent and stop using our troops to digest the fruits of victory, how long would it take?

Will he be able to wait until the day he succeeds?

Time is not forgiving!

Gradually gaining insight into Liu Bei's inner thoughts, Fa Zheng groaned for a while, and then slowly bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with following the prime minister's prudent policy to Juda, after all, there is still a big gap between our army and the puppet Wei, and it is a good strategy to take it step by step, although it is not possible to pacify Guanzhong in a short time, but as long as the situation in Liangzhou is settled, our army has established a stable rear and has the source of people such as Qiang and horses, and Guanzhong is still in our bag." ”

Having said that, Fa Zheng suddenly changed his words and said in a deep voice: "But then again, our army is now strong, and General Wei Wenchang has a great advantage in the north of the Yellow River and has gained a firm foothold. ”

"It would be a pity if the march suddenly stopped at this time!"

"Does filial piety mean that our army should take advantage of the victory to march?"

When he heard that Fa Zheng said this, Emperor Liu Bei's face instantly moved slightly, and then he was extremely excited, and hurriedly asked.

"It is indeed recommended to take Guanzhong quickly and lay the overall situation."

Fa Zheng said lightly, but then showed doubts on his face, and said: "It's just that there has been a lingering question in my mind for the past few days, although Guo Huai was ambushed by our army suddenly and unexpectedly, but after Zhang He led the crowd to rescue him, he could completely move closer to Linjing and shrink the defense line." ”

"If Zhang He rescued Guo Huai and settled in Linjing at that time, how could Zilong and General Bo Miao pull out Linjing so smoothly?"

After the words fell, he said in a deep voice: "Linjing is stable with Jingshui circulation, and the territory of the northern land is connected to the northern part of Guanzhong, which is really an important town, but the Wei army would give up this place so easily, and it is struggling to think about it, I don't know what the Wei army has to plot?" ”

After saying that, from the standpoint of Fazheng, he supported the speedy removal of Guanzhong.

Fa Zheng said bluntly about the plan to quickly take Guanzhong: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, it is not recommended to consolidate the situation in Liangzhou first and then go eastward, Guanlong has always been a combination of two benefits, and the disadvantages of division are too obvious, if our army stops the pace of conquest at this moment, the next moment when the Wei army stabilizes the battle situation, it will definitely counterattack wildly, so that our army will not have too a stable situation to develop." ”

"If you want to take it, you will directly take Guanzhong, according to Tongguan, Pubanjin and other dangerous places to resist the Wei army and control the safety of Guanlong, and then develop steadily, and after stabilizing the situation in Guanzhong and Liangzhou, you will advance eastward in one fell swoop, send the Central Plains together, and level the pseudo-Wei."

On the other hand, Xiang Lang also put forward a pertinent opinion: "But the hinterland of Guanzhong is also located on the Weihe Plain on the shore of Weishui, if the Wei army gathers the main force and gives full play to the advantages of the knight legion to fight our army on the plain, wouldn't it be in the hands of the enemy?" ”

Wu Yi seemed to suddenly feel that there was some truth in these words, and his original firm and quick mind began to groan, and the rest of the people also had this mentality.

Merely.

At the critical moment, Zhao Yun stood firm and encouraging, and said righteously: "This is not too big a problem!" ”

"The knight legion of the Wei army will exist at any time, but whenever our army sends troops to Guanzhong, it will encounter the situation that Juda said, if we can garrison Liangzhou for several years and wait for the foundation of the rear to be formed, our army can also train an elite iron cavalry to contend with it!"

"But the words of filial piety have to be guarded, our army stopped the pace of attacking, but the counterattack of the Wei army will not stop because of this, on the flat road of Guanlong, the attacker can take the initiative to the greatest extent, and a defense is unable to grasp the initiative."

After speaking, he immediately showed a surprisingly confident smile on his face, and then arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Yun thinks that our army can adopt a steady strategy of taking the camp step by step, but it can also quickly take Guanzhong. ”

"On the Jingzhou side, according to Yun Chang and Ping'er's letter, they have locked the eastern front to the Jiangxia front line and have also involved the Jiangdong side and cannot be left alone."

"In this way, along the Yangtze River in the southeast of the Tun Army, the changes in this war will be greatly reduced, and with Ping'er's consistent style of using troops, he is extremely dislike the stalemate, and he will definitely look for opportunities to change and take the opportunity to disrupt the layout of the Wei army."

"If our army advances into Guanzhong, can we say that it will take the opportunity to add a few points of opportunity to the situation in the east?"

For a while, Zhao Yun also knew his son-in-law Guan Ping quite well, and he also spoke at a critical moment.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Bei thought for a moment, but still decided to take Guanzhong quickly and take out the wine and meat from the treasury to reward the soldiers of the three armies for three days to recuperate, so as to eliminate the fatigue of the marching battles in the past few days.

……

Three days later.

The Han army once again moved to the east along Jingshui to the land of Fufeng.

Since this time it was a direct capture of Guanzhong to the north, the Han army instead skipped the important town of Chencang in Guanzhong and did not need to storm this pass.

However, after learning of the defeat of his army in the Battle of Linjing, Cao Zhen, the general of Zhengxi, was also extraordinary, and immediately led the superior army to expel Zhang Fei's troops.

In desperation, Zhang Fei had to lead the people to retreat west along the way to the Wuzhangyuan area.

Subsequently, Cao Zhen arranged his troops and sent all his troops to camp in Huaili and Wugong respectively to resist the sudden attack of the Han army.

With the Han army's vigorous march, in the end, due to Cao Zhen's close defense, the main force had to gather in Wuzhangyuan to join Zhang Fei's troops.

……

Gojogahara.

Han army camp.

At this moment, Zhang Fei had already led the generals to stand in front of the camp gate early and wait for the arrival of the army, and saw the Tianzi Luan driving with the wind from a distance, and the joy on his face became more and more intense.

After half a ring, Zhang Fei was very excited and immediately stepped forward to meet Liu Bei.

Seeing this, Liu Bei also immediately got off Luan and walked quickly.

The two went hand in hand, confiding in each other what they missed for each other.
